Solar Atlas

A ciliated Siren

sweeps

wheat wreaths

through silent spheres  

of plasma                                                    

To the iris

of electric chains----

“Quivering folds

seek rootlets”

For gelignite jewels

jazz the Zephyr

into a parish of angel claws

lashing craters

of dynamite sublime

Fire on a heap

of crumbled stars

never spares

the Volcanic Nucleus

When cerise skies

writhe and burst

a Wine-woven Dowry

Undulating through Asia

This amber almond

dappled down

fungus fleshed----

perimetric perspiration

While hydrogen hydras

hiss and ooze

a magma masquerade

blooms    

Lightning coils languid

in the southern Sepulcher

of burnt crystal

polydactyl fractals slumbering

into furnace

From the domes

of crimson cream  

saffron shards drop coral

into Hedonistic Districts.

Atonement

for sap-trapped sunbaths

of halos and highborn...

Celestial lion

thrusts its geode throne

on the nation

an incandescent candor

of the heliocentric court

-----------------------------

His aurelian avalanche

of cinder swans

sets and rises-------------
